Gone Girl and In For A Murder have drawn significant comparisons. Here we take a look at exactly how similar the two films are.

In for a Murder and Gone Girl Analogy: Should You Watch This New Crime Comedy?

A crime thriller about a missing young woman, a long list of suspects but no one
obvious, and a movie adapted from a bestselling book. We’d like to say that it
should remind you of “In For A Murder”, but post- Gone Girl, these movies and
series are on a revival spell. And ‘In For A Murder’ is a new name on this very
long list. But does it stand out?

SO, WHAT IS IN FOR A MURDER ABOUT?

If In For A Murder was to be described in a sentence- we’d only say “perky
post-teen pop reggae“. The movie, as the title so obviously suggests, is about a
murder. But the music, direction, and cast would likely remind you of high
school Netflix Originals surrounding teenagers- not very unlike the To All The
Boys series.

In For A Murder is about Magda, your average wife that’s too nice, too smart,
too loyal- to sum up, too perfect- for her husband Tomasz. And of course, she is
unappreciated- that’s what makes her the main character. They have two kids, who
we must assume are the only reason they won’t split.

Madga, who has an unappreciative and obviously disloyal husband, lives in a
small town with limited chances of social interaction. Her best friend
disappeared 15 years ago- so she doesn’t really have anything going for her
except taking her dog on walks and reading Agatha Christie.

One day, Tomasz casually reminds her of how lousy of a husband he is by making
an evening unpleasant and Magda decides she needs to take a walk. And, viola, in
a park lies the corpse of a dead woman.

Any normal person would have been absolutely shaken, but Magda is busy playing
detective. The numerous crime novels she’s read have given her foresight better
than trained officers. She turns out to be more perceptive than her frankly
unperceptive detective friend Jacek. Oh, and Jacek used to be in love with her.

Now that dog walks have been ruined for her, Magda’s mind is on her second
passtivity– crime. As her husband doesn’t let her pursue a career, Magda
casually decides to solve the crime of the young woman herself. But this somehow
links back to her best friend who has been missing for 15 years.

The quasi-idyllic suburban town is shaken as Magda, a seemingly uneventful woman
even by suburban standards, begins digging into the lives of every known face.


IS IT ANYTHING SIMILAR TO THE LIKES OF GONE GIRL?

A pleasant movie that begins with chirpy music and a woman filling her wicker
basket with fresh fruits with a bright setting will definitely not remind you of
Gone Girl

The one word that perfectly captures the essence of Gone Girl is “gripping”. The
viewers are on the edge of their seats right from the start, watching Affleck
walk on eggshells and do it flawlessly each time.

In For A Murder [https://www.netflix.com/title/81338273] is anything but that.
The movie focuses on a suburban woman in a small town surrounded by
insignificant politicians who want to blow other trivial things out of
proportion. Calling it a local whodunit would be pretty apt. If you’re looking
for something gripping, something that keeps you on the edge of your seat the
way Nick Dunne (Gone Girl) or Benoit Blanc (Knives Out) did – then In For A
Murder isn’t for you.

However, if your watchlist needs a fresh perky movie, that’s small and
refreshing, but is also a part of the neo-murder-mystery streak- we wouldn’t
talk against this Polish film.
